This is a photograph of a horse-drawn ice delivery cart. The scene features a horse harnessed to a large wooden cart with the words "J. Frank Pope Ice" on the side. The horse stands calmly with its head lowered. In the background, there is a small building with what looks like a shop front, alongside leafy trees and a nearby lamp post. The photograph is in sepia tone, giving it a historic feel.
